Who is OG Programmer?

Self proclaimed computer, Joshua Copeland, has been developing software for over a decade. He started in Java, Microsoft .NET (VB, C#) but over time evolved into using LAMP stacks and a MacBook Pro (best move ever). He has used a broad range of technologies and tools over the years but has now settled in the AWS/Linux/PHP ecosystem. He is now CTO of a Cutting-Edge Technology company called Vehicle History that specializes in providing free VIN lookups and vehicle history information. He also owns Design Bunnies which builds small-medium size business & e-commerce websites. If you care to read more about his tech experiences, visit his LinkedIn. My other personal thoughts/rants can be found on my blog or my podcasts. When Josh isn’t busy making episodes, blog posts, managing things, he’s spending time with his family, skateboarding, building/playing games, or thinking of the next big thing.
